Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 a banana
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Add-ins/Optional
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or frozen berries
- Drizzle of almond butter for topping
- Prepare the blended baked oatmeal base: Combine the rolled oats, banana, almond milk, almond butter, maple syrup, baking powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated. After blending, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them through the batter.
- Prepare the baking vessels: Lightly spray two ramekins with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the blended oatmeal mixture evenly into the ramekins. If desired, add a few extra chocolate chips on top for a decorative and flavorful finish.
- To cook in the oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Place the filled ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 23 to 25 minutes. The baked oatmeal is done when the top turns golden and the cake feels mostly firm to the touch, indicating it is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding a drizzle of almond butter on top for extra richness.
- To cook in the microwave: Place both ramekins into the microwave and cook on high power for 2 to 3 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so check for firmness after 2 minutes. Let the ramekins cool slightly before drizzling almond butter on top and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute dark chocolate chips with frozen berries for a fruity twist.
- For a nuttier flavor, try different nut butters such as peanut or cashew butter.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
- Ensure to cool the oatmeal slightly before eating, as it will be very hot right out of the oven or microwave.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
